Uk-ukom 14
1 Simmalog ni Samsom idiay Timna, ket sadiay, nakitana ti maysa a babai, maysa kadagiti annak dagiti Filisteo.
Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
2 Idi nagawid isuna, imbagana iti ama ken inana, “Nakitak ti maysa a babai idiay Timna, maysa kadagiti annak a babbai dagiti Filisteo. Ita, alaenyo isuna para kaniak tapno agbalin nga asawak.”
He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. Now therefore get her for me as my wife.”
3 Ngem kinuna ti ama ken inana kenkuana, “Awan kadi ti babai kadagiti annak dagiti kabagiam, wenno kadagiti amin a tattaotayo? Mangalaka kadi iti asawaem manipud kadagiti saan a nakugit a Filisteo?” Kinuna ni Samson iti amana, “Alaem isuna para kaniak, ta tunggal makitak isuna, maay-ayoak kenkuana.”
Then his father and his mother said to him, “Isn’t there a woman amongst your brothers’ daughters, or amongst all my people, that you go to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?” Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she pleases me well.”
4 Ngem saan nga ammo ti ama ken inana a nagtaud kenni Yahweh daytoy a banag, ta kayatna a mangparnuay iti riri kadagiti Filisteo (ta dagiti Filisteo ti mangiturturay iti Israel iti dayta a tiempo).
But his father and his mother didn’t know that it was of the LORD; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines ruled over Israel.
5 Kalpasanna, kadua ni Samson ti ama ken inana a simmalog idiay Timna, ket nakagtengda kadagiti kaubasan ti Timna. Ket rimmuar sadiay ti maysa a bumaro a leon nga agngerngernger kenkuana.
Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and his mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion roared at him.
6 Immay a dagus kenkuana ti Espiritu ni Yahweh, ket rinangrangkayna ti leon a kas kalaka iti panangrangkayna iti bassit a kalding, ket awan ti iggemna. Ngem saanna nga imbaga iti ama wenno inana ti inaramidna.
The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he tore him as he would have torn a young goat with his bare hands, but he didn’t tell his father or his mother what he had done.
7 Napanna kinasarita ti babai, ket idi kinitana ti babai, naay-ayo ni Samson kenkuana.
He went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson well.
8 Kalpasan ti sumagmamano nga aldaw idi nagsubli ni Samson tapno asawaenna isuna, simmiasi isuna tapno kitaenna ti bangkay ti leon. Ket adda maysa a pangen dagiti ayukan ken diro iti nabatbati a bagi ti leon.
After a while he returned to take her, and he went over to see the carcass of the lion; and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey.
9 Inakuyna ti diro babaen kadagiti imana ket mangmangan bayat a magmagna. Idi nakagteng iti ayan ti ama ken iti inana, intedna ti dadduma kadagitoy, ket nanganda. Ngem saanna nga imbaga nga innalana ti diro iti nabatbati a bagi ti leon.
He took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went. He came to his father and mother and gave to them, and they ate, but he didn’t tell them that he had taken the honey out of the lion’s body.
10 Simmalog ti ama ni Samson iti ayan ti babai, ket nagparambak ni Samson sadiay, ta daytoy ti kaugalian dagiti agtutubo a lallaki.
His father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men used to do so.
11 Apaman a nakita dagiti kabagian ti babai isuna, nangiyegda kenkuana iti tallopulo a gagayyemda a mangkadua kenkuana.
When they saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “Adda burburtiak kadakayo. No adda kadakayo ti makaibaga kaniak iti sungbat daytoy kabayatan ti pito nga aldaw iti panagrambak, mangtedakto iti tallopulo a lino a kagay ken tallopulo a pagan-anay.”
Samson said to them, “Let me tell you a riddle now. If you can tell me the answer within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing;
13 Ngem no saanyo a maibaga kaniak ti sungbat, ket ikkandakto iti tallopulo a lino a kagay ken tallopulo a pagan-anay.” Kinunada kenkuana, “Ibagam kadakami ti burburtiam, tapno mangngegmi daytoy.”
but if you can’t tell me the answer, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” They said to him, “Tell us your riddle, that we may hear it.”
14 Kinunana kadakuada, “Manipud iti mangmangan, adda maysa a banag a makan; manipud iti napigsa, adda maysa a banag a nasam-it.” Ngem saan a napugtoan dagiti sangailina ti sungbat iti las-ud ti tallo nga aldaw.
He said to them, “Out of the eater came out food. Out of the strong came out sweetness.” They couldn’t in three days declare the riddle.
15 Iti maika-uppat nga aldaw, kinunada iti asawa ni Samson, “Sikapam ti asawam tapno ibagana kadakami ti sungbat ti burburtia, ta no saan puorandaka ken ti balay ti amam. Inawisdakami kadi ditoy tapno papanglawendakami?”
On the seventh day, they said to Samson’s wife, “Entice your husband, that he may declare to us the riddle, lest we burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you called us to impoverish us? Isn’t that so?”
16 Ket rinugian ti asawa ni Samson ti agsangit iti sangoananna: kinunana, “Kagurguranak! Saannak nga ay-ayaten. Nangibagaka iti maysa a burburtia iti sumagmamano kadagiti tattaok, ngem saanmo nga imbaga kaniak ti sungbatna.” Kinuna ni Samson kenkuana, “Kitaem, no saanko nga imbaga iti ama wenno iti inak, rumberng kadi nga ibagak kenka?”
Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, “You just hate me, and don’t love me. You’ve told a riddle to the children of my people, and haven’t told it to me.” He said to her, “Behold, I haven’t told my father or my mother, so why should I tell you?”
17 Nagsangsangit isuna kabayatan ti pito nga aldaw a kabayag ti panagrambakda. Iti maikapito nga aldaw, imbaga ni Samson ti sungbat iti asawana gapu ta kasta unay ti panangpilitna kenkuana. Imbaga ti asawana ti sungbat kadagiti kabagian dagiti tattaona.
She wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and on the seventh day, he told her, because she pressed him severely; and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 Ket kinuna dagiti lallaki iti siudad kenni Samson iti maikapito nga aldaw sakbay a lumnek ti init, “Ania ti nasamsam-it ngem iti diro? Ania ti napigpigsa ngem ti leon?” Kinuna ni Samson kadakuada, “No saanyo a pinagarado ti bakak, saanyo koma a naammoan ti sungbat iti burburtiak.”
The men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?” He said to them, “If you hadn’t ploughed with my heifer, you wouldn’t have found out my riddle.”
19 Ket kellaat nga immay kenni Samson ti pannakabalin ti Espiritu ni Yahweh. Simmalog ni Samson idiay Askelon ket pinatayna ti tallopulo a lallaki kadagiti tattao. Innalana ti nasamsamda, ket intedna dagiti pagan-anay kadagiti nakasungbat iti burburtiana. Kasta unay ti ungetna ket simmang-at isuna iti balay ti amana.
The LORD’s Spirit came mightily on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty men of them. He took their plunder, then gave the changes of clothing to those who declared the riddle. His anger burnt, and he went up to his father’s house.
20 Ket naited ti asawana iti nasinged a gayyemna.
But Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his friend.
